Four Days To Burn It Down
Verse 1
Male V.
Spring came and went, you went with it too
Then a friend’s birthday party, and I ran into you
Female V.
You said we’d go deeper, you promised we would
I built up my courage just as fast as I could
Male V.
You asked for the future in a single breath
I said give me a minute, scared you to death
Female V.
You asked for a weekend, I needed a sign
Male & Female V.
And I watched the clock ticking on your time and on mine
Chorus
Male V.
That was your final question
Female V.
That was my final test
Male V.
You sent a rehearsed message
Female V.
I was just cleaning a mess
Male & Female V.
Four days of silence, a digital wall
I guess that was your answer after all
Verse 2
Male V.
You remember your birthday? I booked you the spa
Hid gifts in your closets, behind every door
You said "I don't deserve this," I said "Yes, you do."
For one single day, I felt I got through
Female V.
I let my guard down, I let myself feel
It was beautiful and terrifying and it didn't feel real
Male V.
While you were typing, I was booking the track
The one from your dream, there was no turning back
Female V.
While you were taking your time, I was holding my phone
Convinced I was stupid for feeling at home
Chorus
Male V.
That was your final question
Female V.
That was my final test
Male V.
You sent a rehearsed message
Female V.
I was just cleaning a mess
Male & Female V.
Four days of silence, a digital wall
I guess that was your answer after all
Bridge
Male V.
You spent half a year telling me to walk away
To keep it all casual, day after day
My brain needed a second to know you'd changed course
Female V.
My heart needed a second, not a show of brute force
I gave you the opening, a crack in the door
Male V.
I was bringing you back something worth fighting for
Male & Female V.
A key to a zimmer, a weekend away
You just couldn't wait one more goddamn day
Final Chorus
Male V.
Yeah, that was your final question
Female V.
And you thought you failed my test
Male V.
But the answer was yes, darling, the answer was yes
Female V.
Lost in the wreckage, what a beautiful mess
Male V.
Four days to build it
Female V.
Four days to burn it down
Male V.
You didn't lose me 'cause I didn't want you around
Female V.
I lost you 'cause I couldn't wait
Male & Female V.
You were just four days too late
